MeasuPro BPM-20A Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor
Since my husband is unsure of taking a blood pressure without something doing it for him, he was relieved when I got this in the mail. Now he doesn't have to worry and the color coded screens let him know if the blood pressure is OK or not.
I also like the ease of using this one especially if you have to do this a lot during the day. Luckily we don't have to worry about this yet, but with my husband having edema I like to have one in the home just in case it becomes necessary to do daily.
The best part is that this comes with batteries so you can use it right away and not have to worry about searching for the right batteries. The batteries are also easy to buy, you won't have to make a special order and wait for a delivery because most places sell AAA batteries for a competitive price.
Now to find out if they cold make this with different cuffs. One for children and one for those who are overweight. Then this would be the perfect First Aid Health Kit add on.
MeasuPro helps keep you focused on your health by providing you with the tools you need. Using advanced technology, the MeasuPro Digital Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor provides accurate measurements of your blood pressure and pulse rate. Measurements are taken through an automatic, fast and easy process using Measure and Inflate technology. The pressurized arm cuff auto-inflates with the touch of a button and automatically releases the pressure when the measurement is complete. This MeasuPro Digital Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor features a bright LCD display with separate touch buttons for each individual user.

Graphical readings are classified in five different levels and color coded to represent the reading's level of hypertension. It also calculates and averages your blood pressure based on the last 3 readings and detects irregular heartbeats and any arrhythmias. Arm cuff fits upper arm circumference of 23-32 cm.

Ice Ball Tray
I thought I knew everything there was about making ice. I always wondered why some ice cubes come out clear and others come out cloudy. Apparently if you used distilled water they come out clear all of the time. Who knew? Not me anyways.
Most of the time ice is just made for our family to use and when we have a party we just buy a big bag, but sometimes you have guests over and having a fun shaped ice cube that lasts a long time is really nice to have while you are enjoying your time together.
These are super easy to use and my children love them. They said that their drinks stay cooler longer. Now to just keep freezing to get ahead for all of the summer time drinks. It is getting warmer by the day.
You can purchase the Ice Ball Tray on Amazon.
This is what they have to say about their product.
- FEATURES - 4 Sphere Ice Ball Tray. Ice Balls were originally invented by Japanese bartenders to maintain drink quality.
DESIGN - Perfect for parties, everyday use - you name it!
MATERIAL - Super Flexible Silicone for easy ice removal - BPA Free
USE - Use for Cocktails, Whiskey, Ice Coffee - You name it! Dishwasher and Freezer Safe
Ice Ball Tray from i2 GearDesign:This tray features a four ball silicone mold that makes 4 large ice balls. These ice balls melt slower than traditional ice cubes which makes them perfect for anyone who likes to savor their drink for a longer period without the watery mess. Try them in your whiskey, cocktails, ice coffee - just about any beverage you can imagine!
Use:
These molds are great for entertaining, parties or everyday use. If you prefer keeping a larger inventory of ice balls, you could buy multiple trays or simply run multiple freeze cycles storing the ice in the freezer until needed.
How does this work?
Here's a quick step by step:
-Place the mold in sink and fill mold with distilled water to the top rim. Tap water will work but could bubble and create a cloudy ice ball.
-Press down on the top mold and release any excess water between the top and bottom molds.
-Place mold on a flat surface in the freezer.
-Once frozen, remove the top mold and place on the counter upside down.
-Flip the bottom mold over the top mold and separate the edges until the ice releases into the top mold slots. Note: The mold should separate from the ice very easily.
How long should they last?:
The amount of time your ice ball will last depends on ambient temperature, but you can expect it to last from 1 to 2 drinks.
Package contains:
- 1x Silicone Four Ball Ice Tray

One thing I love is a book that you can't put down and this is one of them. The Perfect World by Katalina Gerard is a page turner right from the beginning.
Imagine a world where everything is planned out for you right from birth. Your name, what you wear, how you learn, when you eat, when you can go to the bathroom. Can it really be that easy? What is the catch? Is it really perfect?
Well you will have to find out by reading The Perfect World. I really hope to see more books or even a companion to The Perfect World.
You can purchase the Perfect World on Amazon.
